Question

I guess I’ve seen it somewhere before, but now I can’t remember nor find it. Is there a way to make a getter property with arguments?

I mean, as I can convert "float getSize();" to "float Size":

float getSize() {
    return this.size;
}

float Size {
    get { return this.size; }
}

Then, could I convert, for example, "float getSize(String unit);" to "float Size(String unit)" or something like that?

float getSize(String unit) {
    return this.size;
}

float Size(String unit) {
    get {
        if (unit == Unit.Meters)
            return this.size/100;
        else
            return this.size;
    }
}

I think there’s no really problem of using function at all, but may look better this way 😛

Answer 1

To answer the question: No, it is not possible, and as already pointed out, a getter with a parameter would look just like a method.

The thing you are thinking about might be an indexed default property, which looks like this:

class Test
{
    public string this[int index] 
    {
        get { return index.ToString(); } 
    }
}

This allows you to index into an instance of Test, like this:

Test t = new Test();
string value = t[1];
